Barcodes

	Code11
	Code128 Code 128 is a very high density alphanumeric bar code. The symbol can be as long as necessary to store the encoded data. It is designed to encode all 128 ASCII characters, and will use the least amount of space for data of 6 characters or more of any 1-D symbology.
	Code25
	Code39 Code 39 is an alphanumeric bar code. The symbol can be as long as necessary to store the encoded data. It is designed to encode 26 uppercase letters, 10 digits and 7 special characters.
	Extended Code39 This is an extension scheme on Code39. It can code all 128 ASCII characters by using a two character coding scheme.
	Code93
	Codebar
	Data Matrix Data Matrix is a 2-D matrix code designed to pack a lot of information in a very small space. A Data Matrix symbol can store between one and 500 characters.
	EAN-128
	EAN-13
	EAN-5
	EAN-8
	Interleaved2of5 Interleaved 2 of 5 is a a numbers-only bar code. The symbol can be as long as necessary to store the encoded data. The code is a high density code that can hold up to 18 digits per inch when printed using a 7.5 mil X dimension. A check digit is optional.
	ISBN
	ISSN
	MSI
	PDF-417 PDF417 is a stacked symbology. PDF stands for Portable Data File, and the symbology consists of 17 modules each containing 4 bars and spaces. The code is in the public domain. The structure of the code allows for between 1000 to 2000 characters per symbol with an information density of between 100 and 340 characters. Each symbol has a start and stop bar group that extends the height of the symbol.
	Plessey Plessey Code was developed by the Plessey Company in England with formal specifications first dated March 1971. Plessey Code has been extensively used in libraries. It can encode digits and first six letters.
	Post 25
	Postnet
	UPC-A
	UPC-E

Installation

After you run installation package, "BarcodeX.NET" folder will be created with "barcodex.dll" assembly . Start VisualStudio.NET, right-click on a toolbox, choose "Choose items" and browse/select "barcodex.dll" component.

It will add "BarcodeX" WinForm control and "WebBarcodeX" server control to your toolbox.

Add BarcodeX.NET to your project

For WinForms application, simply drag-drop BarcodeX from a toolbox onto your form, set few properties and that's it.

For ASP.NET web application, add "WebBarcodeX" control to your page and copy/add "bcx.aspx" file from BarcodeX.NET program folder to your application.

WebBarcodeX control will generate an IMG tag which will retrieve an image from bcx.aspx page.

"bcx.aspx" file :

<%@ Page language="c#" ContentType="image/gif" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Drawing" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Drawing.Imaging" %>
<% Response.Clear();
Bitmap b = (Bitmap)Session["__bcx" + Request.QueryString["ctlid"]]; b.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Gif); %>

Note that bitmap is streamed from Session object preventing cross-site linking to your "bcx.aspx" page. Also, since WebBarcodeX use ClientID to generate request to bcx.aspx, you can safely use more than one WebBarcodeX control on a page.

Samples

There are several sample applications (both WinForms and ASP.NET) included in the setup package.
